HOT DAMN, literally! My exhaust is chopped just like that, and I've been hauling ass up long hills around Mammoth/Big Bear, etc. loaded with camping gear, no trailer though. I guess I'm going to play it safe and get that re-routed asap LOL. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the steering br...

The 3.0s will be badass! I think my favorite part about them is that they're coming in black cerakote... DROOL. I'm really happy with the performance of my 2.5s, the 3.0s will only be better. Congrats on the killer setup! Where are you located? I know one guy down my way who ordered the 3.0s but he'...

This happened on my 16 last year on my way to Moab... Cruise control, about 80mph and got that on the screen. Hasn't happened since though, interesting to see its a persistent problem on yours. Good luck and definitely keep us updated.

LOTS of different ways to skin a cat with the spring rates and valving, starts to make your head spin when you think you've finally understood something, then start talking to someone that does it for a living lol. I've never set up shocks on a truck this heavy that has varying loads and needs to be...

I have 37x12.50 Toyo R/Ts on my factory wheels on my 2012. Got them over the summer and this is my first winter on them. So far I couldn't be happier. I fell for the balance beads when i got them and they were a little rough but it was easily corrected with good old fashioned balancing. No squishy ...

Nice truck & mods ! :rockon: Are the front coil springs linear rate or progressive rate ? Just curious. Thanks! The front springs are linear rate, like Thurens. I'm not sure how the Carli and Thuren rates compare though. My springs were labeled driver/passenger side specific and it looks like that ...

I wonder if you could have Carli put in their valving (valves and tuning) to match the rear spring rates? They use modified valves so you can't just tune factory King's and get the same outcome. Carli and Thuren are pretty tight lipped about their valving specs, and thats a-ok. It takes a lot of ti...

What you described above is pretty much Carli's suspension design philosophy "softer ride with more control and bottom-out resistance in the backcountry". Do you plan on getting their rear coils too? Yup! I've had a pair of their rear 3" coils sitting on my rack for a while now. I picked these up f...

Oh bullshit!!!!! :lol: Hahaha, I admit I'm torn on getting them dirty, but it'll be worth it! So, drove the truck a bit yesterday after work... Front feels great on road with the Carli valving, similar to stock, but a bit sportier without any harshness over expansion joints, etc... The rear is a di...

Nice upgrades, did you have the adjusters added to help with rear squat/sag when loaded or something else? Time to those Kings through some paces out in the desert! They really won't do anything for squat (like adding pressure to an air shock) since any additional weight will just push through the ...

:rockon: Is that a Dethloff skid under there? Sure is! I love it! It seems crazy that they'd go through the trouble of designing and including the factory skids on these things, yet leave such a critical area so vulnerable :doh: . I hadn't smashed my pan or anything like Mike had, but I've tapped t...

I got home from work a bit early yesterday... I'd had a redbull and was feeling motivated. I got out the jack stands and started tearing down the front suspension. I took my time with tear down and install, cleaned up the frame and coil buckets a bit, and from start to finish it took me about 4hrs a...

Get that skid plate in yet? Hahaha The truss seems a lot more necessary on the 14+ trucks than the earlier trucks. The earlier trucks go tube-diff-tube, and that’s pretty much all that’s going to bend unless you hit really hard and then you can bend the upper ‘C’ of the knuckle. On the new trucks i...

Time to truss that axle. :cheers: Not yet! But it's definitely in the cards for it down the road. I don't plan to beat on it as hard as some of the DTX guys do (thats what my Ranger is for) but it's definitely hard to keep your foot out of it when you're in the dirt lol. The truss is cheap insuranc...

Ordered some Carli Hemi 3" coils and 2.5s from CJC on Friday, and got the delivery notification by noon on Tuesday. Really excited to get some real shocks on the blue whale! Now I need to lay down a bunch of miles on my 35" RT's so I can justify upping to a 37"... 20k on them and still lots left in ...

I had a larger 22" Magnaflow put on, and I'm much happier. Truck doesn't give me a headache anymore, still sounds aggressive, but not annoying. I'm going to drive it a while, see how I feel about it after a long trip and then decide whether or not to add a small resonator similar to the MF19200 kit.

Looks great! Where did you measure to? I'm interested to see exactly how much you gained. I'm still trying to decide what coils to go with on mine. Thuren .5, 1.5, or a Carli Hemi coil that I can pick up and install same day along with some 2.5s...

*I'll add pictures to this post later today* Few updates, I think I solved the small wobble/feedback I was getting through the steering wheel. I installed the Thuren front track bar, no real improvement with that shake, although the truck does feel a bit more solid over bumps. I also installed a Thu...
